.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBndb_import\fR
imports CSV\-formatted data, such as that produced by
\fBmysqldump\fR
\fB\-\-tab\fR, directly into
NDB
using the NDB API\&.
\fBndb_import\fR
requires a connection to an NDB management server (\fBndb_mgmd\fR) to function; it does not require a connection to a MySQL Server\&.
Usage
.sp
.if n \{\

ndb_import \fIdb_name\fR \fIfile_name\fR \fIoptions\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
\fBndb_import\fR
requires two arguments\&.
\fIdb_name\fR
is the name of the database where the table into which to import the data is found;
\fIfile_name\fR
is the name of the CSV file from which to read the data; this must include the path to this file if it is not in the current directory\&. The name of the file must match that of the table; the file\*(Aqs extension, if any, is not taken into consideration\&. Options supported by
\fBndb_import\fR
include those for specifying field separators, escapes, and line terminators, and are described later in this section\&.
.PP
\fBndb_import\fR
rejects any empty lines which it reads from the CSV file, except when importing a single column, in which case an empty value can be used as the column value\&.
\fBndb_import\fR
handles this in the same manner as a
LOAD DATA
statement does\&.
.PP
\fBndb_import\fR
must be able to connect to an NDB Cluster management server; for this reason, there must be an unused
[api]
slot in the cluster
config\&.ini
file\&.
.PP
To duplicate an existing table that uses a different storage engine, such as
InnoDB, as an
NDB
table, use the
\fBmysql\fR
client to perform a
SELECT INTO OUTFILE
statement to export the existing table to a CSV file, then to execute a
CREATE TABLE LIKE
statement to create a new table having the same structure as the existing table, then perform
ALTER TABLE \&.\&.\&. ENGINE=NDB
on the new table; after this, from the system shell, invoke
\fBndb_import\fR
to load the data into the new
NDB
table\&. For example, an existing
InnoDB
table named
myinnodb_table
in a database named
myinnodb
can be exported into an
NDB
table named
myndb_table
in a database named
myndb
as shown here, assuming that you are already logged in as a MySQL user with the appropriate privileges:

Once the target database and table have been created, a running
\fBmysqld\fR
is no longer required\&. You can stop it using
\fBmysqladmin shutdown\fR
or another method before proceeding, if you wish\&.
